Help me please!

Right, am finally dragging myself shopping this weekend and on my shopping list is mascara and pressed powder......I am so sick of mascara that ends up underneath my eyes within 4 hours making me look as though I have horrible bags, and I want powder that will help me stay shine free (without too caked on).

Any recommendations are most welcome! (and may well stop me having some sort of breakdown on Sunday!)

I bought (because I am tight) Boots 17 waterproof brown mascara and it is fab, doen't budge or smudge and doesn't give bizarre over long spider leg lashes, just gives you nice natural looking lashes.. and its only about £5!!

Hey rubyrubyruby (poster whose name I wanted! )

That is a really good point.....tomorrow I will just wear mascara and not eyeliner and report back!

Max Factor mascara, all of them are smudge free, and brilliant.
Clinique double face powder. Fantastic. So good no need for foundation.

Lancome Hypnose is the best mascara. Years of research on my part

Not everyones cup of tea but I brought Supershock mascara from Avon and it has seen me through two months of horrific hayfever followed by another two months (and counting) of a horrible separation without smudging or running once. Am thinking of suggesting to them that they use my swollen, miserable face with perfect masacra for their advertising campaign!!

Another vote for Max Factor here. Have tried several of their range and all work well. Far superior to Chanel & YSL, IMO.
